EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the Maronite rite - Bapteme ceremony that took place in Beirut, Lebanon, back in 1860. The engraving, featured in "Le Monde Illustre" nA'184 on October 20th of the same year, showcases a beautiful procession formed after the baptismal ceremony. In this scene, we witness a family of Metualis celebrating their child's baptism. At the forefront of the cortege stands the proud godfather cradling the newly baptized infant. This image beautifully portrays not only religious devotion but also familial unity and love. The Maronite rite holds great significance within Catholicism and Christianity as a whole. It represents an important milestone for both parents and child alike, symbolizing their entry into Christendom and embracing their faith. With its historical context set against the backdrop of Beirut during this period, this print offers us a glimpse into Lebanese culture and traditions from over a century ago. Stefano Bianchetti's expert craftsmanship brings out every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate both the solemnity of the occasion and its cultural significance. As we observe this remarkable engraving today, it serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across time and space – highlighting how rituals such as baptisms continue to unite communities worldwide through faith and tradition.
